INVENTOR This-invention relates to hinges andparticularlyto what areknown as 1'nv1s1ble I '1 STATES; PATENT I. JOBIEE 8085, OF BROOKLYN, NEWYOIBJL Be it known .that I, Josnrn Sees, a citizen of the United States,and residing at Brooklyn,Nm the county of Queens and State of ew York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements m Hmges,

of which the following is a s ecificatlon,

such as will enable those skills in the art to which; it appertains tomake and use the same.

hinges for use in connection with doors and other swinging articles, andthe inven tion described and claimed herein is an improvement on thatdescribed and claimed infill. S. Letters Patent #880,697, granted; March3, 1 908, and the. object of this invention; is to provide a hin e'ofthe class specified the construction an operation of which is suchas topreventla door, when in a fl fi fi, position, from movin away fromitheframe or sulpport with w ich it is connected, or in t further objectbe' parts of the hinge so as to adapt the same --to: doors and frames ofgreater or lessthick- .nesses, andthe operation and construction hingeand showing the same in connectionwith a door frame and door, partsonly, of said frame anddoor being shown and said parts being in sectionon the'line 1-1 of Fig. 2: Fi 2 a transverse section on the line 2--2 0Fig. 1, and showing the door closed, and :F1g, 3 a view similar to Fig.2 but showing the door open. 4

In the practice of my. invention I rovide two box-shaped hinge butts a,the aces of which are provided with end extensmns a and said .hingebuttsand the end extogether centrally t e plane thereofa to increase the raills of the movement 0 the swinging movable a men.

1'0 all whem may concern: tensions a thereof are adapted to be seecuredin the door frame and door'by means s own, andthe adjacent faces of saidhinge butts are also open, as shown at 11* and.

said hinge butts are provided with back plates. a which do not extend tothe adacent faces thereof, but terminate at a9,

and this construction forms openings a in the face plates of said hingebutts? which The hinge butts a are correspond with, but are of lesstransverse dimensions than the openings a. in the fronts of said hingebutts, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. I also provide two sets or series ofswinging arms 6 one end member 6 of which is L-shaped in form and theother end member of which consists of a flat head I), and the arms 6 ofthe-separate sets are pivoted ereof by means ofa Bin 0 which has noconnection with the inge butts a and the L-shaped ends I) of' one set ofsaid arms extend mto one of the butts a while the L-shaped' ends of the.other set extend into the other butt, and the heads .6 of the separatesets of arms also extend the opposite butts a of the hinge, as clearlyshown, and the head ends of said arms project beyond the L-shaped ends.

The back face plates 0. of the hl n e butts are provided with parallelribs a. w ich correspond with thearms b and between which.

are pivoted links (Z, this connection being made 1 by means of pins 03which pass through the ribs a and through, or have hearings in the endextensions a of the bodies of the hinge butts a and the links a? areconnected with the heads 6- of the separate sets of arms 6 by pins dwhich do-not pass into the ends of the butts a, but are free to swin insaid butts or the chambers therein in w ich the arms I) and links 02 aremovable. The. outer ends of the ribs a. fit between the terminal"portions of the L-shaped ends I' b of the separate sets of arms I), andpassed through the said terminal portions of the separate sets of thearms I) are provided are movable in grooves in ends of the bodies withinwardly directedhooks b and' these hooks "are movable between the 'l.--shaped ends I)" of said arms when the door is closed,-

as shown in Fig. 2, and when the door is open, as shown in Fig. 3, theyengage pivot pins e.

' In the accompanying drawing the door frame is shown at f and the doorat f, and

with the construction described, it Will be seen, that the door may. beswun throu h anarc'of 180 degrees. -It w1ll a o be 0 served that theends of the-arms w1th which the heads I)" are connected are longer-thanthe other ends thereoff'or' project beyondf said butts. r 9 Although Ihave shown and described the fronts of the hinge -'-b1 1tts, a as open,-or provided with opemngs a, this is not an essential feature, and saidfronts of said butts may be closed if the thickness of the vantages.

door frame and door is such as to permit of the necessary increase inthe thlcknes of the hinge butts or the body portion thereof and other canges 1n and modifications of the construction herein shown anddescribed may be made, within the scope of the 8P, pended claims,without departing from the spirit of my invention or .sacrificmg 1ts ad-Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secureby Let 1.
